I've got a cut on the skin of my penis, I believe it's called the foreskin. It's bleeding when I have sex, but otherwise, everything seems fine. What should I do about it?

You can clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol for any discomfort. If the bleeding continues or if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?

Pregnancy Despite "Safe Days"_ 1. _Ovulation variability_: Ovulation can occur at different times each month, making it difficult to predict exact "safe days." 2. _Sperm longevity_: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, increasing the chances of fertilization. 3. _Fertilization window_: The fertilization window can last up to 24 hours after ovulation. _Sylate (Contraceptive Pill) and Pregnancy_ 1. _Single pill omission_: Missing a single pill, even if it's the only one, can increase the risk of pregnancy. 2. _Hormonal imbalance_: The contraceptive pill works by regulating hormones. Missing a pill can disrupt this balance. _Next Steps_ 1. _Confirm pregnancy_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy. 2. _Prenatal care_: Begin prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. 3. _Discuss birth control options_: Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control options for future use.
